An Awkward Situation

So Russia went CD and a newbie took the country over. I typed a pretty drawn out discussion of the current political climate and what my next moves were, along with some suggestions about what they could do. When I hit send, it apparently glitched massively, and when I hit the "Global" message tab (thinking it had sent normally), it posted there for everyone to see.

Taking Advantage of an NMR

What do you think of this? I am in plenty of day phase-36 hour phase and 5 minutes before I am logged and I changed my orders so I could snag an SC of someone who's NMR-ed. What are your opinions

Stereotypical Accents Public Press

We had a great game going where people speak (type) in a caricature of a stereotypical accent from your country. Draw germany, talk with a german accent. Lots of fun, but had someone that needed to drop due to what seems to be a valid reason. so, we want to start one up again, and we need two more people!

Rules Question?

A game I was in just ended, and there was no retreat phase after autumn. Carthage could have retreated a unit from Chersonesus to Sinope to keep things tied at 17s. Is this correct? Is the game over as soon as the fall turn ends and one player has eighteen centres? I would have thought Carthage would still get to make his retreat.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

This shouldn't have happened! In this game: gameID=32450, I'm Near-East. I ordered Syria to support move from Saudi Arabia to Iraq. Iran supported Iraq, so it failed. However, India, who occupies Iran and Iraq, ordered Arabian Sea to Saudi Arabia with support from Iraq. Shouldn't Iraq's support have been cut when I attacked it?

NFL vs Barclays Premier Leage

no no this isn't a football against futbol debate. rather a debate on which has the better system on team skill equality. Meaning: teams that do crappy one year being able to get better and do well. So in essence relegation against first draft choice.

What time zones are players in?

I seem to have a really hard time finding live games, and during the World Cup I was never on at the same time as anyone else. Is it that I just somehow seem to miss prime hours, or is my timezone (GMT -8) an unpopular one on this site?

Baron Samedi (319 )

I personally would prefer even longer phases, maybe 2.5 to 3 days.
But for the record, i believe the previous game was 2 days.

tarspaceheel (503 )
01 Sep 10 UTC

I'd prefer shortish phases, between 24 and 48 hours. But I'm flexible.

peterwiggin (15158 )
01 Sep 10 UTC

I think 48 is the right balance between time to talk and moving things along. It would be best if we could do 48 hour movements and 24 hour retreats/builds, but alas the site does not allow that.

drano019 (1003 )
01 Sep 10 UTC

I too will throw my vote behind 48 hours. Too much longer and people who don't have much to say will start to get bored and lose interest.

I do like peter's idea of shorter retreats/builds and perhaps the 7 of us could agree to try to keep those phases moving along?

I'll wait a little longer to see if we can get vexlord, ava, and Friendly Sword to chime in, but expect to get PM's sometime tomorrow with the game info.

vexlord (231 )
01 Sep 10 UTC

48 hrs plz

tarspaceheel (503 )
02 Sep 10 UTC

Agreed, I wish we had the ability to have shorter build/retreat phases, but 48 hours is great for me.

vexlord (231 )
02 Sep 10 UTC

i think 48 hrs, in addition to ensuring ample public debate allows some leeway to those of us who may be busier in real life to not CD. it allows you to enter moves and then not worry about the game for a weekend for instance

peterwiggin (15158 )
02 Sep 10 UTC

Oh could we have WTA too? It seems to make for more sensical endgame play.

vexlord (231 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

i clicked cancel.... stupid 1st turn NMR germany...

peterwiggin (15158 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

me too.

Friendly Sword (636 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

I hit cancel!!

drano019 (1003 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

i also voted cancel.

ava2790 (232 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

Me too.

tarspaceheel (503 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

And it's canceled. Any idea when we're starting up again?

peterwiggin (15158 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

I'm not sure if I'll be able to play anymore. School is starting soon, and I really should spend more time on productive things and less here . . .

drano019 (1003 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

So who was germany then? Obviously they came back and voted cancel. Baron samedi maybe?

Anyways, anyoneup for try 3? Ill be in, peter is out probably (school...such a lame excuse :) ), what about everyone else?

Baron Samedi (319 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

I would love to try.
and no, i was not germany.

personally, if this happened again, i'd rather play a full game with a CD than no game at all.
But maybe three's the charm.

peterwiggin (15158 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

I was not Germany.

drano019 (1003 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

I was not germany either.

For try 3, me and baron so far. What about the rest?

tarspaceheel (503 )
06 Sep 10 UTC

I wasn't Germany. But I'm interested in one more try.

drano019 (1003 )
07 Sep 10 UTC

bump for the other players in the game. Who wants in on try #3?

So far:
Drano019
Baron Samedi
tarspaceheel

vexlord (231 )
07 Sep 10 UTC

im in... hope it actually happens this time

TrustMe (106 )
07 Sep 10 UTC

I'd be interested in playing if you get an opening

drano019 (1003 )
07 Sep 10 UTC

Allright, we're up to 4 with me, Baron Samedi, tarspaceheel and vexlord. With peterwiggin dropping out because of school, we could add TrustMe as a fifth. We still have yet to hear back from Ava and Friendly Sword from last game as well.

drano019 (1003 )
07 Sep 10 UTC

TrustMe - This is going to be a VERY intensive game with lots of diplomacy over 2 day periods. It's expected that players will be submitting multiple messages over that period with significant content per message. Are you sure you'll be able to commit to the time frame? We don't want a player who will start strong and then fade out after 2 or 3 years.

Baron Samedi (319 )
07 Sep 10 UTC

aww, come on.
just don't CD, and talk a lot. And read everything everyone says.
Not that much more intensive than an average public press game.
Although I understand drano019's concerns.

Baron Samedi (319 )
07 Sep 10 UTC

i just don't want to scare away people, and at this point, I just want a game.

drano019 (1003 )
08 Sep 10 UTC

Sorry Baron, you said what I was trying to say but in a nicer way : )

I just wanted TrustMe to know that the PPO style is more message intensive generally than regular press where people sometimes go seasons without saying a word.

At this point I'd like a game to get going too....I'd really disappointed we ended up canceling that first one, it was awesome.

TrustMe (106 )
08 Sep 10 UTC

I will not CD. Baron and I have played before in a live game and he should know I'd hang in there, even when I was late to get some beers with friends. I will do my best to be entertaining.

drano019 (1003 )
08 Sep 10 UTC

Sounds good. You're #5 then. We have TrustMe, Drano019, Baron Samedi, tarspaceheel, and vexlord.

We still need to hear from ava, anyone know where he went?
